"Switching Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide"

One of the exciting new features in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is the introduction of the Seikret, which provides a wealth of utility both in and out of combat. If you're curious about how to switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's a detailed guide to help you master this essential skill.

Switching Between Weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds

To switch between your primary and secondary weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you first need to mount your Seikret. Once mounted, press right on the d-pad, or the X key if you're playing on PC. This action will automatically equip your secondary weapon. You can summon your Seikret to your location at any time by pressing up on the d-pad, no matter where you are on the field.

It's also important to know that you can change your primary and secondary weapons when you're back at Base Camp. The simplest way to do this is by speaking to Gemma, who will help you organize your weapons. From there, you can select the weapon you wish to use and designate it as your primary or secondary. Your primary weapon will be carried by your Hunter, while your secondary weapon will be stored on your Seikret. You have the flexibility to change this setup at any time.

The ability to switch between two weapon types in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is incredibly beneficial. While it's advisable to become highly proficient with one weapon type, mastering multiple types can significantly enhance your ability to handle various threats. Additionally, consider equipping different elemental weapons to prepare for unexpected monster encounters during your quests.

That's the complete guide on how to switch weapons in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including a comprehensive overview of all armor sets and our best weapons tier list, be sure to visit The Escapist.
